Schiff bases: A short review of their antimicrobial activities
AbstractSchiff bases are aldehyde- or ketone-like compounds in which the carbonyl group is replaced by an imine or azomethine group. They are widely used for industrial purposes and also exhibit a broad range of biological activities. This short review compiles examples of the most promising antimalarial, antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral Schiff bases. An overview of synthetic methodologies used for the preparation of Schiff bases is also described
Energy demand and distribution of corn seeds as a function of the speed of two seedrills
This work had the objective of evaluating the distribution uniformity of corn seed in two displacement speeds and two precision seedrills, in an experiment conducted in a Oxisol, with slightly inclined relief in a loamy soil. The experimental design was constituted of four treatments composed of two seeders (S1 - PSE 8/Semeato and S2 - PST 2/Super Tatu) and two velocity of seedrills (V1 = 5.2 and V2 = 8.1 km h-1). The mean value of the traction force in the bar was 9.6 kN for S1 and 8.07 kN for S2, while the slippage was 5.83 and 4.26%, for S1 and S2, respectively. The values obtained for distribution uniformity of seeds of the seeder S1 in the speeds V1 and V2 were 21.6 and 22.0, and for the seeder S2 18.0 and 19.0 cm respectively, which did not differ statistically; however for the two displacement speeds a tendency of increase of the spacing among plants with the speed increase was verified.Objetivou-se, através deste trabalho, avaliar a uniformidade de distribuição de sementes de milho em duas velocidades de deslocamento de duas semeadoras-adubadoras de precisão, em experimento conduzido em um Latossolo Vermelho distroférrico, de relevo levemente inclinado e textura muito argilosa. O delineamento experimental constituiu-se de quatro tratamentos compostos de duas semeadoras (S1-PSE 8/Semeato, S2-PST 2/Super Tatu) e duas velocidades de deslocamento (V1 = 5,2 e V2 = 8,4 km h-1). O valor médio da força de tração na barra foi de 9,6 kN para S1 e 8,07 kN para S2, enquanto a patinagem foi de 5,83 e 4,26%, para S1 e S2, respectivamente. Os valores obtidos para o espaçamento entre sementes da semeadora S1 nas velocidades V1 e V2, foram 21,6 e 22,0 e, para a semeadora S2, 18,0 e 19,0 cm respectivamente, os quais não diferiram estatisticamente entre si; verificou-se, entretanto, para as duas velocidades de deslocamento, tendência de aumento dos espaçamentos entre plantas, com o aumento da velocidade.42442
Study of the hydrogen escape rate at Mars during Martian years 28 and 29 from comparisons between SPICAM/Mars Express observations and GCM-LMD simulations

These simulations are compared to Mars Express / SPICAM observations and show a strong underestimate of the brightness by our models near southern summer that could be due to an underestimate of the amount of water vapor delivered to the upper atmosphere at this season
Lime mud from cellulose industry as raw material in cement mortars
This study reports the use of lime mud (LM) in cement-based-mortars. Lime mud is a waste generated in the production of cellulose by the kraft mill process. It is mainly composed of CaCO3, a small amount of magnesium carbonate and other trace minerals. Mortars were prepared by adding different amounts of LM (10, 20 and 30% by weight of cement) in dry weight. The mortar compositions were evaluated through rheology and flow table measurements, assuring that all the samples exhibited adequate conditions for testing in both equipments. The hardened state properties were also evaluated through mechanical strengths at 7, 28 and 90 days of curing. Following a waste management solution perspective, this work intend to provide a general evaluation of LM application in cement based mortars, looking at both fresh and hardened properties in order to guarantee that the final application requirements are not hindered

Highly efficient separation of actinides from lanthanides by a phenanthroline-derived bis-triazine ligand
The synthesis, lanthanide complexation, and solvent ex- traction of actinide(III) and lanthanide(III) radiotracers from nitric acid solutions by a phenanthroline-derived quadridentate bis-triazine ligand are described. The ligand separates Am(III) and Cm(III) from the lanthanides with remarkably high efficiency, high selectivity, and fast extraction kinetics compared to its 2,2'-bipyridine counterpart. Structures of the 1:2 bis-complexes of the ligand with Eu(III) and Yb(III) were elucidated by X-ray crystallography and force field calculations, respec-tively. The Eu(III) bis-complex is the first 1:2 bis-complex of a quadridentate bis-triazine ligand to be characterized by crystallography. The faster rates of extraction were verified by kinetics measurements using the rotating membrane cell technique in several diluents. The improved kinetics of metal ion extraction are related to the higher surface activity of the ligand at the phase interface. The improvement in the ligand's properties on replacing the bipyridine unit with a phenanthroline unit far exceeds what was anticipated based on ligand design alone
